A remarkable clmniro has taken place In
the sentiment of the people in tho region of
the lnmnn oritiafte. Jmliro Moon's clinrite

that Brined resistance will be made to any
effort to arrest the miners. It has develop
ed that theslicrift of Marion county is a
inriuiier ol the Millers' League, nil il may be
impeached.
Anarchy reins supreme in the minim;
Tcirioiis mirth of Knoxville, Tenn. Excite
ment them is intense, nnd is heightened by
the lack of definite information from the
scene of the trouble, the w ires having been
cut. The mob is in actual possession of
roperty of the Mast Tennessee Railroad, in
tie neighborhood of Coal creek and Olivers.
They have cut the wires in numerous places,
torn up the tracks in every direction nnd
cnptuied every locomotive in the mining
. region.
At a late hour Tuesday night over ft
thousand miners captured three locomotives
Olid several empty coul ears nt Coal Creek,
nd forced the engineers to take them to
Oliver Springs, where about U convicts
were employed in the mines of the iiinner
.Iriiid Coal "Company. Thev arrived at
Olivers uliout 4 o'clock next morning and at
once plnutted nn attack on the stockade
where I lie convicts were routined.
About 7 o'clock they assaulted the stock
ade, and a lively battle proceeded. The
Stockade was defended by on picked guards
nnd a company of its militiamen. Two
companies ot National guards, enroute from
Chattanooga via llarriman, were compelled
to take the side truck a few miles from Oli
vers on account of displaced mils. Hundreds
td' shots were exchanged, hut strange to suy
no one was Injured, (iuards and militia
seeing that it was useless to combat a force
of 1,000 infuriated and determined men,
quietly surrendered.
i The convicts, guards nnd soldiers were
ioaoeu on a train oi nat cars, anu ine engi-
' neer at the point nf n Winchester rirle was
compelled to pull t he train out in the direc
tion of Kuoxville. The-stockade was then
burned to the ground. Arriving at Clinton,
permission was obtained from the railway
officials to bring the convicts to this city.
The train w bich was the only one in or out
for 1!4 hours, arrived in Kuoxville about 1
o'clock, and was surrounded by an immense
throng of the curious.
Iliiiletins posted ill the lending buildings
of Chattanooga, Tenn., told the following
story "Tennessee to Anns." "Will you
How your State to be disgraced?" "The
miners have captured soldiers, let volunteers
come at once." "Lieutenant Royster is in
the nrmory ready to receive volunteers."
".Hring any kind'of weapon you have."
A thousand people stood iu the drizzling
rain reading these bulletins. Terror was
added when 'olonet Woolford wired from
Harriman that the 80 KnoxviHu soldiers
had been captured en route toOliver (springs.
Wire were cut and no one could say what
fate they would meet. It is intimated that
fully 8,000 armed miners arc in the tluld in
East Tennessee, and the tight against the
troops is uneven to say the least.
Citizens are very indignant ut the course
of Governor liiichaiiati, and loud threats of
lvnching him Hre fre-ly made on the streets.
Some of the citizens are forming companies
o leave for the scene of trouble, and nil
kinds of weapons ure being gathered for
use in the liirht, which is sure to come.
A UATTI.K IN I'ROOHRSS.
The telegraph wires to Coal Creek have
been cut. A battle is raging between troops
and miners. Cannonading can be heard in
the distance.
The streets at Knoxville are crowded with
a howling mob, and the greatest excitement
prevails.
Kie ncwsnaerscorrcspo!iden'swho went
to Coal Creek have been captured by the
turners nnd ure held prisoners.
Late Wednesday night Governor Buchan
an was forced to call out the entire State
guard.
Governor Itiichannn refused to call nut
the entire State militia to quell the riot,
solely to boost bis Independent canvass for
re-election. Ho appeals to the rioters for
voters and declined until the last moment
to cull out tho troops against them. The
few at present in the field are without or
ders or leadership snd have no fixed pur
pose. Thev are simply epectutora of the
miners' wild work.
THE OOVKRNOB ('ALU FOR VOLL'KTF.ERS.
The Sheriffs of Knox, Shelbv, Hamilton
and Davidson have been ordered to summon
l.OOi) men each and go on a special train to
tne scene. ine uovernor claims to ne ame
to have 8.000 men on the ground by Thurs
day morning,
A private message from Clinton, Tenn.,
says : "A courier arrived here at 0:15 p. M.,
from Coal Creek. He says fighting has been
going on all tiie afternoon. Four soldiers
were killed and their gatlinggun is out of
order. The Knoxville volunteers and sold-)
iers who left here by special train will never
reach Coal Creek, as the track is loaded with)
dynamite." 7
Captain Kellor Anderson, who for nearly
a year has held the convicts at Coal Creek,
is in the hands of the miners at last. The
latest reports, which are reliable, say that
the battle at Cump Anderson was commen
ced as early as 10 o'clock Thursday morning.
For several hours tiie firing was not general.
About 2 o'clock the miners, to the number
of 1,000, made an organized assault on the
fort and were successfully repulsed. The
second assault was also easily repulsed.
The third attempt resulted iu a regular
fiilclied battle and the gatlina? guns got in
heir work, hut to what extent is not known.
Several of tiie assailants were wounded and
some of them were probably killed, but uo
one knows for certain.
CAPTAIN ANllKUBON CAFTVKED.
Between the II rst and second assault on the
fort three miners were captured. The strik
ers sent up a Hag of truce to Captain Ander
son to ask for t heir release. He was expect
ing such a message and met the men on
equal grounds. He was seized by several of
them and ruslieJ down the hill and finally
taken to one of the hotels in the village,
where he is guarded by Robert Lindsay, a
Deputv United H ates Marshal, and a num
ber of friends. They ure holding him us a
hostage, und will not agree to give him up
rntil troops and eonvicis are withdrawn
from the vullev.
Captain Anderson has been taken from
the hotel, where be was guarded, und spirit
ed away.
Governor Buchanan Is confined to his
house at Nashville completely prostrated by
the excitement and worry of the past few
days. His physician says he cannot leave
iiis room for a week to come. His work is
teing carried on by Adj utant General Nor
man. WIM.oitx vr thi coKVir-rs.
Ksoxviu.s. Tenn., Aug. 18 The Knox
ville Iron Company, lessees of the branch
penitentiary at Coal Creek, have given the
Uovernor 20 days' notice that they will give
up their lease and turn the convicts over to
the Slate authorities. This', decision, if laid
before the miners will probably put an end

On the subject Thomas C. Natt, President
of the Compsny, said yesterday:

At Nashville, Tenn.. late Thursday night,
after consultation with Adjutant 'General
Norman nnd his attorneys, Governor Hn
chnnnn ordered nil the organized militia in

ing region. He then made requisitions on
the sheriff's of Davidson, Hnmiltom and
Knox counties for posses of l.issi men each,
nnd on the sheriffs of Anderson, Roane,

Titr Mtsr.na iirrrvrr.p.
Fridnv night n special trnin bearing the
two volunteers who were Milled III the bat
tle Jut Coal Creek, three men who were
wounded and 12o volunteers who went to
the front, rolled into I ho depot nt Knoxville,
Tenn. S.tsw people wsro gathered about
the station and tno excitement was higher
than at any time since the trouble began.
Not until the arrival of the train was it
pos hie to get a correct statement of the
Imtlle, and the exciting incidents leading up
to it. Five men were killed in nil.
The dead militiamen are: John T. Walt

one of the volunteer was badly iiijutcd by
tailing over a ledge oi rocss.
AN AisliI NT or Tilt: IIATTIT.
The battle commenced at 7:80 Friday
morning and lasted nearly half an hour.
The volunteers and loo soldier of the Sec
ond Regiment reached Offii Its. n small vil
lage within four miles of Coal Creek, about
11 o'clock Thursday night.
They left oflntts about 2 o'clock and
went across Wnlden's Ridge hva cin uitious
route, so ns to reach Fort Anderson from a
point farthest removed from t lie village of
Coal Creek. The night was dark as pitch,
and the loneliness of the road was depress
ing. The sides of Walden Ridge lire very
steep, nnd nro covered with liugli boulders,
nnd ledges of sandstone. Over these ob
structions the brave fellows many of whom
had never been in th mountains before,
climbed anil then defended. Their cloth
ing was torn anil their hands and faces were
scratched hy Die brambles. Just oftor they
started down the mountain on the north
side toward Fort Anderson, the men were
divided into three squads under command
of Captain W. L. Leduerwood, General 1).
P. Anderson and Colonels. L. Woolferd,
respectively.
nrcoYEn into an AMarsoAnp.
Soon afterward three men, all uniformed,
and claiming to be friendly to the soldiers,
appeared and offered to pilot the Tegiment
down the mountain. Without suspicion the
troops followed them intn a well planned
ambuscade. I-edgerwood's men were in
front. At a point within a quarter of a
mile of Fort Anderson the firing commenced
irom oeinnct tne great ledges ot sandstone
on a spur of ridge overlooking the valley
where the men were marching. Th star
and stripes at Fort Anderson were in full
view and the men were feeling relieved at
the near approach of fortifications and were
Joking with each other when bullets began
whistling about their ears.
Ledgerwood's command had passed the
ambuscade before the firing commenced
anil they received a volley of bullets in the
back. Carty. Walthall. Uiven and Hois,
kell were all iu this party. The other com
panies faced about at once ami opened tire
on the ambuscade. As the firing became
general, men seemed to rise up from behind
every stump and stone in sight. They were
nil well armed ami greatly outnumbered
the militury. Major Carpenter, seeing that
the odds were greatly again it him. ordered
ail three companies to retreat, und the long
murch over the mountain to ofTutts was
Commenced again. The dead and wounded
of both sides were left on the field of futile.
The regiment reached OiTutts on their re
treat, about 10 o'clock thoroughly exhausted.
They notified General Carnes that thev were
at his service if needed, nnd many plucky
young fellows thoroughly stirred ur over
the loss of three of their comrades, wanted
to go to Coul Creek anyway. General Carnes
wired them he could manage Coal Creek
with his regimotit, and they started around
the country among farm houses and ate
their II rat meal in I'l hours. A squad of
picked men returned to the bnttlelield, and
brought the dciid and wounded into Coul
Creek under a Hag of truce,
OKNF.KAI. CAHNK AT COAL RKFK.
When General Carnes arrived at Coal
Creek with his regiment the telegraph office -and
in fact the entire village surrendered
without opposition. The march was then
taken tip in the direction of Camp Ander
son, a mile distant. On the way the soldiers
were attacked lv a large bodv of miners,
possibly 800. The fire was returned, and
considerable shooting was done for about
10 minutes. The miners sent up a flag of
truce and surrendered.
Tho miners' attack on Fort Anderson
started about two o'clock Thursday after
noon. The miners numbered about 3,000,
and were armed with all sort of weapons.
The return tire was ordered by Anderson,
and blaze of tire from every side of the
fort belched out. Some were killed out
right, and many wounded. At the stockade
they stopped, and the men clambered over
the walls to release tn convicts. The fort
is some dhtunce from the stockade, and
higher up. The doors and entrances were
thrown open und the miners were at last in
possession. They began to order the con
victs to leave, and hail them all captured
when Anderson atsseni bled all his soldiers at
the side the miners were on and, moving
the howitzer to thut tide, began to bombard
them.
The miners stopped tn the work of releas
ing the convicts and turned to get out of the
way of the heavy fiuilade of rifle bullets.
Again and agaiu their leaders begged them
to fight, bnt they rushed down the hill to es
cape the furious onslaught of the soldiers.
Willi never a halt nnd never a rally they
reached the bottom of the hill, bearing 12
dead und more thun 2C wounded miners
wilh them. They hurried fur out of the sight
and teuch of the guns.
It wus after this thut Captain Anderson
wus decoyed outside by a Hug of truce and
cuptured.
CAPTAIN ANDERSON IIKLF.A8F.D.
S ion ufler his urrivul ut Coul Creek, Gen
eral Cnrnes demunded the release of t apluin
Anderson, und gave the miners until 1 o'clock
to produce him. One o'clock came; 2 und 3
o'clock passed by and the miners hud not
turned over the captive. Carnes then order,
ed his men to arrest all suspicious looking
men. They went arouud the village und ar
rested men promiscuously until 10U men
bad been taken into cump. He addressed
them as follow: "You promised to release
Captain Anderson at 1 o clock. You have
broken fuith with me. You shall produce
him in one hour or I will proceed to bum
every house in town, and will shoot every
one of you down."
in less than au hour a committee tent out
for the purpose, marched into camp and
surrendered the prisoner. He immediately
resumed command at Fort Anderson. He
bad been couoeuusd In a little farm bouse on
the outskirts of the villuge.
CALI, FOR VOLUNTEERS.
OOV. BtTHANAH EXPLAIN THE SITfATION.
The following address to the public, was
Issued by Gov. Kuchannn on Saturday:
"To the eople of Tennessee; That there
Is an Insurrection In the mining districts of
the state is ft fact well known to the public.
As many wild rumors and sensational re
ports have gained circulation, I deem it wise
at present to make the following statements
In brief to the nubile:
"A complete anil detailed account accord
ing to the records on lib- nt this office oi
these troubles will hcrtafter lie made public.
Information was received at this olllce
August 1.1 that Trncv City branch iiristm
hnd surrendered to the miners nnd the
stockade was burned, on Sunday. Anenst
11. the superintendent of prisons ordered nn
additional warden nnd gu irds to reinlorce
tho lnmnn stockade. On Monday. Antrust
l.'i, reliable Information was received that
the stockade at lnmnn was th-entened with
attack. The sheriff of the county of Marion
was ordered to summon ft pose and protect
the stockade, but failed to execute the or
der and the stockade was raptured by the
miner. The sheriff failed to obey the
orders. The troops from Knoxville reached
Oliver Springs; the troops from Cbalnnoot'n
were intercepted. The stockade was attack
ed bv the miners, who were repulsed, but it
finally capitulated to an overpowering force.
'Fearing ft smllar outbreak at Oliver
Springs, without waiting for official Inform
ation, 1 nt once telegraphed the sheriff nf
Morgan count v to summon n large piv.se and
protect the stockade. The nearest tntlitarv
forces, the Chattanooga and Knoxville
counties, were ordered to go at oiu-e to
the scene of action. I ordered the sheriffs
of Hamilton nnd Knox counties to supple
ment the regnlnr troops by Wl men each,
nnd the sheriff or Shelbv nnd Davidson w
furnish MHO men each, and the sherillsof
other counties to furnish their respective
quota. 1 ordered Gen. Cnrnes, with the
forces nt his disposal, to proceed as rapidly
ns possible to Coal Creek and disperse the
mob.
"1 have entire confidence In the skill nnd
bravery or Gen. Kellnr Anderson, who Is in
command or the slate rorces at Coal Creek,
and occupies ft strongly fortified position.
The last official reports were that Gen.
Carnes, with a strong force, hnd reached
within n few miles of Conl Creek.
"On Wednesday. August 17, having ob
tained relinblo information of the strength
of the miners nnd their purtvose to attack
the stnte troops at Coal Creek, I ordered the
entire militury force of the state to con
centrate at Knoxville under the c-immand
of Gen. 8. T. Carnes. brigadier-general N.
G. S. T. I have every reason to believe that
the insurrection will Be queued. 10 renuer
this result certain additional forces aro
being sent as reinforcements as rapidly as
they can be assembled and transrted.
Some Sheriffs and citizens have gillantly
made voluntary offers of assistance and
have been gladly received.
'It is the purpose of the executive de
partment to use everv power conferred on
itbv the Constitution and the laws to restore
order nnd preserve the maintenance of the
law I therefore call on every patriotic
citizen to hold himself tn readiness in case
his services should be needed by the state."
Sunday was a day of quiet expectancy a
Coal Creek. Occasional arrests by scouting
parties were the only events. All the
nouses in the vicinity have been searched.
General Carnes has now nearly 300 prison
ers ci hi lined under guard ill the church at
Coal Creek, having captured about 80 men,
.ither miners or thoir allies on Sunday.
TWENTY-SEVEN PEAII RIOTERS EOI NH.
Three more dead bodies of miners were
onnd in the, mountains, one of them badly
mortified and worm had enten the face.
This makes in all the bcslies of 27 minors
found since Thursday's skirmish. A outli
er of wounded were carried away by their
imrndes.
Fifteen guns wore captured in the moun
tain, and beside each was a miner's cap and
lamp. Genoral Carnes thinks the trouble is
about over, but others believe the miners
are playing 'possum in the hills and will
concentrate to give him bnttlo and attempt
the roleaso of the prioners.
The Tennessee Stuto Hoard of Prison In
spectors on Saturday resolved that, in ac
cordance wish the contract with the Tennes
see Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, all
convicts in excess of 4oJ, and women and
hospital inmates, must bo removed from the
penitentiary, in which there ure now 1,070.
The Hoard agrees to furnish guards for safe
keeping of the convicts wherever the com
pany may desire to locate them.

August
Flower"
My wife suffered with indigestion
and dyspepsia for years. Life be
came a burden to her. Physicians
failed to give relief. After reading
one of your books, I purchased a
bottle of August Flower. It worked
like a charm. My wife received im
mediate relief after taking the first
dose. She was completely cured
now weighs 165 pounds, and can eat
anything she desires without any
deleterious results as was formerly
the case. C. H. Dear, Prop'r Wash
